Chapter 114: The Premiere
"Recently, the big directors' dramas have begun to be filmed, but the only one that is free is Xu Zheng's new film, but the scale of this film is a bit large, and I am afraid it will be difficult to pass the review. ”
Ge Chen took a report and handed it to Hong Chen.
The above is the information of the better crew carefully selected by Ge Chen.
Among them, there are big online movies and costume movies, but the grades are not too high, at least they can't compare to the crew of "Zhu Xian".
However, when he saw the script of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", Hong Chen was attracted.
"It's a good script. Hong Chen's expression was full of surprise, "Several characters in it have distinct personalities, and I took this film." ”
"Do you see it clearly? The protagonist of the script is a middle-aged uncle, Xu is the starring role, if you go, you can only play the male number three, Huang Mao. Are you sure?" Ge Chen reminded.
"The male protagonist and the male protagonist are secondary, and the key is that the role should be remembered by the audience and recognized by the audience. In some scripts, the male number one may not be as pleasing as the male number three. Hong Chen carefully watched Huang Mao's scene and said with certainty.
Seeing that he agreed, Ge Chen also nodded, "Okay, I'll get in touch." ”
In fact, Ge Chen also hopes that Hong Chen will act in this movie, because Xu Zheng's ability is still very trustworthy.
Xu Zheng is now one of the top actors and directors in China, and he has a high status in this industry.
In the scenes filmed by big directors, there is no shame in playing the male number three. For example, if Yifan can play the male lead in "Journey to the West", or he can also play the third or even fourth male in Director Feng's movie "Lao Paoer", fans will not care about the position in it.
Sometimes, some irrational fans may tear up their positions, and that situation is because there are several young actors in the crew, and fans are not convinced that their idols are inferior to others in status.
And in a movie like "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the male protagonist is Uncle Xu Zheng, and the remaining characters are an old man, a patient, and a dancer with a bit of dust, which will not be the case.
"The film only starts shooting at the end of February, and there is still a month to go, so you can take a break, and I'll find you a few commercials and magazines to promote it, and you can also have a good rest. Ge Chen said.
"No need, you can help me contact the Kyoto Drama Theater to see if I can perform a drama in it for a month, on the stage, facing the audience. Hong Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ge Chen nodded, "Okay." ”
After that, Ge Chen contacted the crew of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and the director heard that he was coming over, and they reached a cooperation easily.
Ge Chen smiled and said, "I've contacted over there, and I heard that you are very welcome to come to the director." However, he also said that he was actually a little hesitant because your image did not fit the movie. ”
"Image?" Hong Chen was a little surprised, his image didn't fit this movie?
"Well, this movie reflects the struggles of low-level patients, all ordinary people, and he said that you are too handsome, and it is easy to affect the style of the film. Ge Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hong Chen also laughed. However, the director was just joking, and he still made a decision with Hong Chen about filming.
Next, Hong Chen was not idle, on the HK side, Chen Mushen called him, saying that "New Police Story" was about to premiere recently, and invited him to come over to attend the premiere.
After all, it is a movie under Emperor Entertainment, and the starring role is Yuan Long, this movie is very famous in Hong Kong, and at the premiere, most of the actors in the Hong Kong circle rushed over.
The premiere of "New Police Story" is scheduled to be held at Emperor Cinemas, the largest cinema under the Emperor's banner, which is also one of the largest cinemas in Hong Kong.
It can be seen that the director chose to premiere here, and he is also full of confidence in this movie.
On the day of the premiere, the cinema has been carefully set up, with a long red carpet stretching all the way from the theater and flanked by all kinds of people.
Among these people are journalists, carrying long guns and short cannons, just to take a good picture as propaganda. There are also many fans who came spontaneously, crowding the surroundings.
"Look, they're coming!"
At this moment, there was an exclamation from the crowd, and everyone's eyes were looking out.
I saw three pure black Bentleys slowly driving over. Then, Chen Mushen and Yuan Long got out of the car and walked in the front. Hong Chen was in a car in the back, walking with An Jie and other actors.
The starring and directing have finally arrived.
The group walked to the square and stood still so that it was convenient for reporters to take pictures. Just listen to the "click" sound constantly, and the flashing lights come and go.
"Brother Yuanlong, we are your fans!"
"Come on, Brother Yuanlong!"
"Yuanlong! Yuanlong!"
"An Jie, I like you!"
At the same time, fans were there to cheer. It's just that because it's in HK, Hong Chen's fans are relatively few.
However, a few fans have already noticed Hong Chen.
"Isn't that the little brother who played the warden in "Slaying the Wolf 2"?
"Really, what kind of face is this!" her best friend responded.
"He looks good when he laughs. ”
"Oh my God, are mainland actors so handsome?"
It's no wonder that they think so, these leading actors are all stars, although their appearance is passable, but they are still a little worse than Hong Chen. Therefore, Hong Chen is particularly conspicuous in this group of people.
A few local boys in Hong Kong listened to it and felt uncomfortable being compared, so they mocked: "What's the use of being handsome?
Then, these girls used the plot of "Kill the Wolf 2" to popularize science for them, and these boys remembered that Hong Chen's performance in that movie was indeed amazing, so they had to say nothing more.
After the photo shoot was over, Yuan Long smiled and waved to the fans very kindly, and the other actors did the same, and then the group walked towards the movie theater.
The premiere is set at 8 p.m., and 12 a.m. is the official release time.
It's half past seven, and the theater is already full.
Among them, Hong Kong local actors accounted for most of them, and many film critics and big names in the film and television industry also came.
HK actors are still inclined to the nature of the club, because they don't see each other when they look down, so they often get together to participate in various activities.
The more big names are active, the more people come
And today's movie is Yuan Long's latest movie. Yuan Long can be regarded as one of the most influential figures in the Hong Kong circle, although he has been developing in Hollywood in recent years, but the majesty of the HK side is still there.
At the beginning of the premiere, a master of ceremonies stepped forward and read the line, "Hello audience, welcome to the premiere of "New Police Story", as we all know, the "Police Story" series has always been ......"
When the emcee reads the lines, the director and the lead actor stand on the stage. When it was the director's turn to speak, the audience applauded.
"Hello everyone, I am director Chen Mushen, there are still four hours before the official release of "New Police Story", this film embodies the hard work of all our main creative staff, I believe, it will bring the audience a different feeling. ”
Chen Mushen took the microphone and said very modestly.
"Here, I would like to solemnly thank several actors around me, Yuan Long, Xie Feng and Hong Chen, many scenes in this play are very dangerous, there is even a scene where a stuntman was injured while driving, but under such conditions, they did not make any requests, they were completely desperate!"
Chen Mushen said very sincerely.
At this time, the big screen began to play some tidbits of the shooting.
There is a scene where Yuanlong and Xie Feng are dropped on a tall building by Weiya, and there is a scene where Hong Chen drives a stunt, when the plot of the movie is put aside and returned to reality, people see how dangerous such a scene is.
"Everyone has also seen that they suffered a lot during the filming of this drama. To be honest, there are times when I watch them perform, and I can't bear it. But in order to achieve good results, I can only be ruthless and thank them for their sweat for this movie. ”
"Finally, thank you. ”
Chen Mushen put down the microphone, and the audience applauded.
Then, the master of ceremonies presided over and gave the microphone to the next person, Yuan Long.
Yuan Long also said some words of thanks, and he also specifically mentioned Hong Chen.
"This mainland actor Hong Chen is really very good, he has real kung fu, and now there is a shortage of such young people in action actors, you can look forward to it. ”
Yuanlong spoke very highly of Hong Chen, and Hong Chen was also a little surprised.
However, this sentence obviously made some people not convinced.
Action scenes and kung fu movies have always been what HK is best at, but now that they are compared to a mainland actor, some more serious people feel a little uncomfortable.
When it was the audience's turn to ask questions, Wang Xiaofeng, a local film critic in Hong Kong, stood up and said to Hong Chen: "Hello Hong Chen, Brother Yuanlong praises your kung fu so much, I don't know if you can show your hands for us?"
As soon as his words fell, the audience's eyes focused on Hong Chen's body.
HK has always been known for its action movies, and people wonder if Hong Chen really has real talent as Yuan Long said.
Faced with the sudden question, Hong Chen was a little stunned at first, and then nodded.
